2017 Textbook Buybacks

Dear Parents:

End of the year is right around the corner and the final week of classes and exams concludes with BOOK BUYBACK. Designed to reduce the cost of textbooks, the E-Z Drop buyback program at Priory is an opportunity to put money back in your pocket and to put more used books in circulation for next year. As a loyal customer, you will receive top-dollar value for each book that is in demand.

Please note: Your son will need some of his current books again next year; they should not be sold back through the buyback process. This is the list of books that will be used again:

4. Below the buyback books will be books you have purchased that don’t have a current offer for them. Check back closer to Buyback Day to see if an offer has been made on those titles.

TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL BUYBACK

LOGIN WITH THE SAME USER NAME AND PASSWORD THAT WAS USED TO PURCHASE BOOKS.

INVENTORY NEEDS FLUCTUATE DAILY. IF YOUR BOOK IS NOT BEING BOUGHT BACK TODAY, KEEP TRYING. IT MAY BE ACCEPTED ANOTHER DAY. MORE OFFERS ARE MADE CLOSER TO THE BUYBACK DAYS THAN EARLIER IN THE MONTH.

YOU MAY TRY TO SELL BACK ANY SURPLUS BOOKS YOU HAVE. BUYBACK IS NOT LIMITED TO PRIORY TEXTS.

IF YOU CAN’T MAKE IT TO PRIORY ON E-Z DROP BUYBACK DAY, YOU HAVE THE OPTION OF SHIPPING YOUR TEXTS DIRECTLY TO MBS. SHIPPING WILL BE AT YOUR EXPENSE.

I expect that you will find this system easy and rewarding. Please contact me if you have questions or would like more information.
